either an academic or professional situation.
The time spent in the class about information literacy is highly valuable because it is helpful in
foster essential skills of diverse thinking and problem solving (Gregory). In the present-day
world, human beings are exposed to tons of information with every passing moment. With the
advent of social media, information is frequently available over the internet (Gregory). However,
it will be valuable only when the available information will be transformed into lifelong learning.
For example, if the students are assigned an assignment to research on the negative impact on
video games on teenagers, the students should not only complete the assignment for also utilize
the researched information in their real-life to refrain from video game addiction. Similarly, the

What are some ways that you can determine if the information is reliable or trustworthy?
The 21st century is the era of information because it is easily accessible (Gregory). However, not
every information available to the people is trustworthy. Unfortunately, people can get in trouble
owing to the inability to differentiate the real information from the fake one. However,
individuals can determine the reliability of the information using information literacy
successfully in real life. For instance, an individual is intended to buy a car, and for this, he read
the reviews, it may be possible that he gets negative reviews of some newly released model of
the vehicle. Would he believe the information? The way to determine the reliability of the
information is to consider the credentials of the author and consider cross-checking the available
statistics. Another way is to consider the root sources of the information to assess the
trustworthiness of the information.
Which of this week’s activities was most helpful to you in understanding information
literacy? What other resources do you need to help you become more skilled in information
literacy?
Information literacy is referred to as the essential skills that every individual requires to identify,
collect, organize, retrieve, and analyze the collected information (Gregory). The students, as well
as professionals, need to polish their skills of information literacy to become successful.
Personally speaking, my favorite activity during the week was -----------. It is owing to the reason
as it helps me to learn the necessary skills of identifying the authentic information and
understanding the value of information literacy in my life. The essential sources that enabled me
to differentiate the reliability of information are the Google scholar and information published by
trustworthy authors.
